    I've been searching various threads in vain and hope someone can help provide the answer: aside from the Kanji characters on keyboard (TZ90) and Sprint WWAN (TZ190), are there any other notable differences between these two models?

    As you may know, the TZ90/TZ91 is fully customizable, you can choose to get a full English keyboard on it instead of the standard Japanese keyboard, EXACTLY as on the American TZ models. The option costs 5000 yen extra if I'm not mistaken.

    They have the option to replace the DVD drive with a 2.5" 160gb or 200gb (200gb only available on TZ91) HDD instead. This option is also available on the upcoming American TZ198N/RC.

    They also have some options which are totally useless to American users, like the Felica port and 1Seg TV Tuner.
